Thanks for getting in touch. Your employer can’t refuse to let you move because TUPE operates automatically – if TUPE applies to you, then you transfer automatically. No one can agree to do something different because TUPE just overrides it. You can choose to reject the transfer but that means your employment automatically ends, which doesn’t sound like what you want. We’d need more information to advise you, and can only comment generally here. But we can certainly help you work out how to get where you want to be, so just send us an email with more details to employment@Qlaw.co.uk and we’ll be in touch to arrange a time to chat things through.
